Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 24, 1908.

Patented June 8, 1909.

Serial No. 464,306.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED Moss, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of Manhattan, New York city, New York county, New York State,have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Cop-Envelops, ofwhich the f0 lowing is a specification.

My invention relates to cop envelops and the like, and particularlyto acop envelop, which protects the cop from dirt and injury, at the sametime providing abrake for the thread when drawn off the cop, so that thethread may be used, and when broken off by the user, it willnevertheless stay in place with an end projecting from the envelop readyto be seized.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide an envelop for cops andthe like comprising a body portion, the sides of which, near the mouthof the envelop conform to the nose of the cop, together with means forclamping the lips of the mouth together, so as to provide a brake forthe thread.

Another more particular object of my invention is to provlde an envelopfor cops and the like with a metallic fastener adapted to fit over thelips of the mouth so as to clamp them together to form a brake.

Another object of my invention is to provide a metallic removableperforated fastener for the mouth of the envelop containing the coptube, which in its preferred form consists of a pair of clips united bya perforated bridge, the perforation in the bridge serving to uide thethread out of the envelop.

With the above and other objects in view, my invention consists in theparts, improvements and combinations more fully set forth hereinafter.

Referring now to the drawings, which are attached to the specificationand form a part thereof: Figure 1 is a view showing the cop tube in theenvelop. Fig. 2 is a side view of the envelop containing the cop tube.Fig. 3 is a sectional detail with parts broken away to illustrate theconstructlon of the mouth of the envelop. Fig. 4 is a horizontaltransverse section through the lips of the mouth of the envelop, showingthe thread in the guideway. Flg. 5 is a plan view of the blank formingthe perforated fastener before it is bent and clamped about the mouth ofthe envelop. Fig. 6 shows the fastener when bent into shape.

The envelop 1 for the cop tube is provided With a front 2, a back 3,together with side Wings 4, 5. The side wings unite the front and back,and are adapted to be folded inwardly at the mouth of the envelop so asto form folds 6, 7, 8 and 9, respectively. Sides 4, 5 near the mouthconform to the nose of the cop, and the fold lines 10 and 11, at themouth of the envelop, form a narrow guideway 12, which guides the threadthrough the mouth of the envelop. The front and back 2, 3 of the envelopcomplete the guideway, as shown in Fig. 4.

Suitable means are provided for clamping the lips of the mouth of theenvelop together, thus forming a brake for the thread when leaving theguideway. In the particular embodiment of the invention illustrated, Iprovide a metallic fastener 13 for accomplishing this result. Thisfastener may be a single fastener, provided with an orifice but I preferthe form illustrated, in which the fastener consists of a pair of clips14, 15, united by a bridge 16, in which is provided the perforation 17.Staples 18, 19, engaging the perforations 20, 21 in the fastener securethe fastener to the mouth of the envelop. The thread passes through theperforation 17, and after the thread has been inserted through theperforation 17 and the fastener clamped in place, an efficient brake, aswell as a guide and wear plate are provided through which the thread maybe drawn. When broken off by the user, the end of the thread will stayin place, with the end rojecting ready to be seized. The bra ring actionresults partly from the pressure ap-' plied at the mouth of the envelop,part y from the fact that the thread is guided in contact with the wallsof the mouth of the envelop, which conform in shape to the nose of thecop.

Having thus described my invention, it Will be obvious that changes maybe made in carrying it into effect, without departing from the principlethereof.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patentis:

1. An envelop for cops and the like, comprising a body portion, thesides of which near the mouth of the envelop conform to the nose of thecop and means for clamping the lips of the mouth together, so as toprovide a brake for the thread when drawn off said cop.

2. An envelop for cops and the like comprising a body portion, the sidesof which near the mouth of the envelop conform to the nose of the cop,and a metallicfastener adapted to fit over the lips of the mouth so asto clamp them together to form a brake for the thread when drawn offsaid cop.

3. An envelop for cops and the like comprising a body portion, the sidesof which near the mouth of the envelop conform to the nose of the copand a perforated, removable, metallic fastener adapted to fit over thelips of the mouth so as to clamp them together to form a brake for thethread when drawn off said cop.

4:. An envelop for cops and the like comprising a front and back, sidewings uniting said front and back, said wings adapted to be foldedinwardly at the mouth of the en velop on fold lines, which fold linesform a narrow guideway for the thread, the front and back of the envelopcompleting the guideway, and means for clamping the lips of the mouth ofthe envelop together to form a brake for the thread when passing throughthe guideway.

5. An envelop for cops and the like comprising a front and back, sidewings uniting said front and back, said wings adapted to be foldedinwardly at the mouth of the envelop on fold lines, which fold linesform a narrow guideway for the thread, the front and back of the envelopcompleting the guideway, and a metallic fastener for clamping the lipsof the mouth of the envelop together to form a brake for the thread whenpassing through the guideway.

6. An envelop for cops and the like comprising a front and back, sidewings uniting said front and back, said Wings adapted to be foldedinwardly at the mouth of the envelop on fold lines, which fold linesform a narrow guideway for the thread, the front and back of the envelopcompleting the the guideway, the perforation serving to guide saidthread out of said envelop.

7. An envelop for cops and the like comprising a front and back, sidewings uniting said front and back, said wings adapted to be foldedinwardly at the mouth of the envelop on fold lines, which fold linesform a narrow guideway for the thread, the front and back of the envelopcompleting the guideway, and amctallie removable fastener comprising twoclips and a perforated bridge between the clips, said fastener servingto clamp the mouth of the envelop together to form a brake, and also toguide the thread out of said envelop.

8. An envelop for cops and the like comprising a body portion providedwith a mouth and a fastener for clamping the lips of the mouth togetherso as to provide a brake for the thread when drawn off said cop, saidfastener being perforated, the perforation guiding the thread out ofsaid envelop.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.
